Jesus wants A Few Good Men! Living A Life You Always Wanted!
Jack Nicholson (Col. Jessup) (marine cornel)
YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH ?.Son, we live a world
that has walls and those walls have to be guarded
by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt.
Weinburg? I have more responsibility here than you
could possibly fathom. You curse the marines. You
have that luxury. You have that luxury of not
knowing what I know. And that my existence as
grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves
lives. I know down deep in places you don't want
to talk about, you don't want me on that wall, you
need me on that wall. We use words like HONOR,
CODE, and LOYALTY. We use these words as the very
backbone of a life spent defending something. You
use them as a punch line. I have neither the time
nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who
rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very
freedom I provide. I prefer you to just say thank
you and go on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you
pick up a weapon, and stand to post. Either way, I
don't give a crap what you think you are entitled
to!" (end of scene)
You will not be able to find more honorable, loyal
and mentally strong people on this earth than a
United States Marine. Their very COR values of
why they exist stands on a firm foundation of;
Honor, Loyalty and Strength. If you want anyone
on your side and on top of that wall it would be a
Marine. No matter what the mission it's the
marines that are the first ones in and the last
ones to leave. If you happen to ask any marine why
they do what they do? All of them would say, "It's
not about politics, pride, or pillage." They would
say, "It's about the man standing beside me every
day in battle. They are the ones I do it for."
Years ago we lived in a world with fewer choices,
not as many worries and words spoken with more
encouragement and meaning behind them. And with
that came Honor in what we had, Truth in the words
we used and Loyalty to the ones we loved. Today
we live in a world full of businesses, stress of
unbearable proportions, and words sugar coated in
order to please everyone including "Barney" the
dog. Today we live in a world where pride in our
values, love for our creator, and words of love
for others are all but spoken behind closed doors.
"A few good men that's all. A few good people who
will honor me when the good times roll. A few
that will stand on that wall for truth conveyed
through biblical code. And just give me a few that
will be loyal to the end through times of
adversity." That is what Jesus says and wants from
us today.
You will not be able to find a more honorable,
loyal and mentally strong person in the entire
universe than in Jesus Christ. His very CORE
values of why we exist stands on a firm foundation
of; Honor and love to his father, code in the
truth of his word, and loyalty to us in his
promises of his returning. If you want anyone on
your side and on top of that wall it would be a
man whom has already given his life and that is
Jesus Christ. No matter what each one of our
mission's are in life or what war we are fighting
with the devil, it's Jesus who is the first one by
our side and the last one to leave. And I bet if
you asked Jesus today why did he do it? Why did
you lay down your life for us, he would say the
same, "It's not about politics, pride or pillage,
it's about love for those standing on that wall
for me. It's about love for those speaking the
truth on my behalf and it's for those loyal to me
to the very end. That's why I did it, I did it for
love.
Today, God is saying to all of us "All I want are
a few good men." Is Jesus speaking to your heart
today? This week you may do battle; you may not
be given credit for something you deserve, the
devil may place doubt in your mind about gods word
or someone close to you betrays or is disloyal to
you. Stand tall on top of that wall, be willing to
speak the truth in Love and be willing to go the
extra mile out of loyalty. It will be then you
will hear him say in heaven well done good a
faithful soldier.
Never forget we are at war not only with terrorism
but with the devil. He wants our hearts and minds.
However, let us remind him to that we have Jesus
on the wall for us, we have Jesus on our side to
fight each battle we face. This week may bring you
a battle or two but just remember our battle has
already been fought for us through the blood shed
on Calvary.
